What makes the label so special is the way it continues to explore, evolve and diversify that identity through music. Sondela celebrates African culture while creating space for influences, sounds and artists from across the world. In almost every release, you will see how the label uses it as a foundation to build something far more expansive. Their recent release featuring Zoe Kypri, MSHU and 40D is the perfect example of what we’re talking about. Bringing together three artists with distinct musical identities, cultural backgrounds and influences, ‘Holding On’ feels like a meeting point between different worlds, with each contribution adding a unique layer to the overall experience. It’s this sense of connection and cultural exchange that makes Sondela stand out. The label’s ethos lies in showing where music can go by bringing different cultures together through the universal language of dance music Zoe Kypri, with her love for soulful vocals and an inherent appreciation for dance music culture, which she has displayed through her collaborations. Then comes the Poland-raised and now Germany-based producer MSHU, and one of the prides of African dance music. All three come together to deliver ‘Holding On,’ a single that explores the blurred space between dreams and reality and the instinct to trust your inner voice. [Holding On - MSHU, 40D & Zoe Kypri \[SONDE097\]](https://www.youtube.com/embed/ufm6TKPeq0c?feature=oembed) ‘Holding On’ sees Sondela Recordings welcome **MSHU** along with acclaimed UK vocalist Zoe Kyprito, while label favorite 40D returns for yet another outing. For MSHU, ‘Holding On’ marks a new creative chapter, blending percussion-heavy grooves, analog warmth and his deep-rooted appreciation for classic techno and house. Following collaborations with Ben Westbeech, Lazarusman and Roland Clark, his latest direction puts rhythm firmly at the center. Sondela’s favorite **40D** is an artist whose sound moves across Afro house, deep house, techno, disco and the traditional Mozambican genre Marrabenta. His diverse musical palette has established him as a distinctive voice within Africa’s electronic scene, including a #1 Best Dance Song position on South Africa’s Metro FM. East London vocalist, songwriter and DJ **Zoe Kypri** brings a deeply personal dimension to her Sondela Recordings debut. With performances at Glastonbury, Royal Albert Hall and two sold-out Ronnie Scott’s shows, alongside collaborations with Made By Pete, Franky Wah and Damian Lazarus, her vocals explore themes of intuition, trust and the space between dreams and reality. Together, the three artists strike a balance between emotional depth and dancefloor purpose, with MSHU’s emotive production, 40D’s refined touch and Zoe’s unmistakable vocals giving each element its own space within the track. ‘Holding On’ also reflects Sondela Recordings’ instinct for connecting different corners of the electronic music landscape, bringing together European production, African electronic influences and a distinctly UK vocal perspective into one cohesive collaboration. **Keep up with TFword on: [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/tf.word/) | [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/thefckingword) | [X](https://x.com/thefckingword)** **You May Also Like:** [Maceo Plex Enters the Rekids Label with ‘Monster’ EP](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2026/09/02/maceo-plex-enters-the-rekids-label-fold-with-monster-ep) [STAY GOLDEN Unveils Debut Album ‘Silent Covenant’ on All Day I Dream](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2026/08/25/stay-golden-unveils-debut-album-silent-covenant-on-all-day-i-dream) [Aiwaska Talks Musical Alchemy, New Music, and Contemplation for Art](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2026/08/27/aiwaska-talks-musical-alchemy-new-music-and-contemplation-for-art) Del [X](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fda%2Fword%2F2026%2F09%2F09%2F40d-welcomes-mshu-zoe-kypri-to-sondela-recordings-for-holding-on.md&text=40D+Welcomes+MSHU+%26+Zoe+Kypri+to+Sondela+Recordings+for+%E2%80%98Holding+On%E2%80%99) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fda%2Fword%2F2026%2F09%2F09%2F40d-welcomes-mshu-zoe-kypri-to-sondela-recordings-for-holding-on.md) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=40D+Welcomes+MSHU+%26+Zoe+Kypri+to+Sondela+Recordings+for+%E2%80%98Holding+On%E2%80%99+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fda%2Fword%2F2026%2F09%2F09%2F40d-welcomes-mshu-zoe-kypri-to-sondela-recordings-for-holding-on.md) ## Sagar Deshmukh Drum & Bass head with a tinge of hip shake for Disco.
